Hexie questions
A few yrs ago I did a GFG using freezer paper as pp pattern.....worked fine....am now starting another using my GO die which cuts paper and fabric at same time......I am using old greeting cards as the pp guides.....I also bought a paper punch to punch the hole in center to put pin in...phew! When I did the first GFG I machine basted those hexies thru fab and freezer paper, but this time I though I would try what others are doing....hand basting just the fab in the corners......sort of clumsy the first few times, but getting the hang of it...but I think the dies have narrower seam allowance than when I did my other one where I did my own cutting of fab.......anyway, then I come across a YouTube series made by Sue Daley on hexies, tumblers, stars, apple cores,etc......she does fabulous work, but she uses a glue pen to tack down her edges ...no thread basting..and then sews them using Bottom Line thread and a Milliners needle #11...... Nowhere does she say she washes her creations afterwards.......she does remove papers afterwards...of course on her website she is selling papers, plastic templates and this glue pen...I am tempted to order the pen at least.....
